Quantum $RLC$ circuits: charge discreteness and resonance
In a recent article, we have advanced a semiclassical theory of quantum circuits with discrete charge and electrical resistance. In this work, we present a few elementary applications of this theory. For the zero resistance, inductive circuit, we obtain the Stark ladder energies in yet another way; and generalize earlier results by Chandia et. al, for the circuit driven by a combination d.c. plus a.c. electromotive force (emf). As a second application, we investigate the effect of electrical resistance, together with charge discreteness, in the current amplitude, and resonance conditions of a general $RLC$ quantum circuit, including nonlinear effects up to third order on the external sinusoidal emf.
